A villainous girl created by paranoia

Chapter Thirty-Three: Unexpected Disaster Rating

I didn't go to the hospital. After all, I had a rough idea of ​​what would happen next, so I wouldn't go back to the hospital at all, and I didn't need to go back to the hospital at all.

I'm at Chun's house now. Chun and I were discharged from the hospital early. We were supposed to stay in the hospital for a few more days, but I had to tell the hospital something.

I'm running out of money to pay my hospital bills. People like me, who have no one to rely on, are not well-off to begin with. The money I earn from working not only has to cover my daily expenses but also my tuition fees, so the money I can save is very limited.

Originally, the medical expenses for patients like Chun and me should have been compensated by the perpetrator of the arson case, but the police have not yet caught the perpetrator, so Chun and I have to pay the medical expenses ourselves first.

Although the police and the hospital helped cover the costs, neither of them are charities, and they also need to maintain their daily operations.

In addition, although Chun and I's injuries looked serious, they had almost healed after the doctor's treatment. So after much hesitation, the hospital agreed to Chun and I's discharge application. However, I still have to report to the drug rehabilitation center tomorrow.

Tsubaki's home is in a very ordinary residential building. The building is 24 stories high, and Tsubaki's home is on the 24th floor. From the floor-to-ceiling bed in the living room, you can take in all the scenery of Yuling City.

As mentioned before, Yuling City is not a first-tier city, but even so, it is still a bustling metropolis.

The city was still brightly lit in the early hours of the morning. Although Jade Zero City was much quieter than during the daytime hustle and bustle, it was still operating in an orderly manner.

From here I can see the glazed roses nestled against the mountain and beside the water, and I can also see the largest public hospital in Yuling City, the First People's Hospital of Yuling City.

This is the best viewing platform. The only people who can be called spectators are probably me and Tsubaki, who hasn't returned yet, because no one knows what's about to happen in this city.

This is a stage play, the stage is the entire city of Yuling, the protagonist is Zhan Xiaoxiao, and the supporting characters are everyone in Yuling City.

I don't have a script for the story, but I have a vague feeling that something is going to happen next.

What will happen? I don't know, and I don't want to know how things will turn out.

When things are within my expectations, I crave the unexpected, just like how I alter my own memories.

I clearly had many more ways to probe Zhan Xiaoxiao's player identity, but I still used the least safe method.

I don't know what I would do if my memories were altered. I had imagined what I would do after my memories were altered, such as assisting the police in investigating the murderer in the arson case, but that didn't happen.

My own actions surprised me; I did nothing, yet the plan proceeded smoothly.

This was completely unexpected. I had prepared many loopholes for myself to discover and then fill in, but I did nothing at all.

I expected that I would do a lot of things, the only thing I didn't expect was that I didn't take any action.

From that moment on, I suddenly developed a liking for the feeling of things being out of my control.

I'm kind of looking forward to it, hoping that Chun will make a mistake and that Zhan Xiaoxiao will see through Chun's prank.

Well, neither of these two things will likely happen.

Chun doesn't actually have any shooting talent, but unfortunately, the AUO45-Sky Strike is a sniper rifle that even a fool can use; as long as you aim, you can hit the target.

As for Zhan Xiaoxiao... Miss Zhan Ji is a real idiot~

I've already told her that her mother is perfectly healthy, but she doesn't believe me. What can I do?

However, what I did did go a bit too far. Although I didn't deceive Miss War Maiden, I kept using mental suggestions on her.

Even I think I went a bit too far.

While I anticipate failure, I also look forward to success.

I don't know what will happen next, so I can only sit in the audience and watch quietly.

Whether Xiao Xiao, who has grown into a demonic flame warrior for six years, can reach the pseudo-calamity level after unleashing her full power is an uncertain question.

Click...

The door was opened...

Chun's house is unlike Zhan Xiaoxiao's villa. Zhan Xiaoxiao's villa has a corridor before entering the living room, with storage rooms and bathrooms on either side of the corridor. Chun's house, however, opens directly into the living room.

Although the door to the room was open, I wasn't nervous at all, because it was Chun who had returned.

There are many ways to tell if it's Chun opening the door. The reflection on the glass surface is the most basic. I can even tell if it's Chun entering the room from the sound of footsteps and breathing.

Chun didn't say anything, but just stood silently behind me.

"Let me guess, Tsubaki, you must have succeeded."

Chun didn't speak, but I saw her nod in the reflection of the glass.

"I think so too, after all, Tsubaki is very outstanding."

Upon hearing this, I actually saw a slight blush rise to Chun's face, and then her gaze towards me began to change...

What kind of look was that? I'll tell you irresponsibly, I saw intense lust in Chun's eyes.

???

Why are you blushing like a teapot? When I say you're excellent, I really mean you're excellent! The look in your eyes definitely means you're thinking about something lewd!

How shameless!

After mentally criticizing Chun's out-of-control appearance, I turned my gaze back towards the Liuli Rose Villa area, and then I saw a... a red dot?

Yes, that was a red dot. After all, I'm more than five kilometers away from the Liuli Rose Villa area, and I'm not a superman. Being able to vaguely see a red dot over there is already a sign of my excellent eyesight.

The red dot expanded at a visible speed. At first, it was just a red dot the size of a sesame seed, but eventually it spread to the entire villa area of ​​the Glass Rose.

Even from a distance, I could see it—flames, a huge red fire that had engulfed the entire Rosewood villa complex, and the fire was showing signs of spreading.

"Chun, look, it's starting."

"Yes, I am looking at it."

Bullshit! You weren't even looking! I showed you the fire! Why are you looking at me?! Shameless!

Although I wanted to complain about Chun's current appearance, I ultimately gave up. Perhaps Chun is more appealing to me than Zhan Xiaoxiao as the main character in the stage play.

Seriously? Am I really that good-looking? Or is it because of hypnosis and suggestion that Tsubaki is like that?

I subconsciously touched my face. It felt cool to the touch. Then I ran my fingers over my cheeks a couple of times. It was smooth, soft, and delicate, just like the face of any other girl.

I understand now. It's not because I'm good-looking that Tsubaki looks at me with those lewd eyes. Tsubaki is only looking at me like that because of hypnosis and suggestion. But I didn't give Tsubaki any suggestions that would arouse her.

Just as I was thinking about all these random things, a sudden, urgent alarm blared downstairs. This alarm was different from the one on the police car at the police station; it was the siren of a fire truck.

The fire truck was traveling in the direction of the Glass Rose...

It's estimated that even if they went there, they wouldn't be able to extinguish the fire. After all, even a regular fire had already spread beyond the Liuli Qiangwei villa area. By the time the fire trucks arrived, the fire would probably have already spread to other residential areas.

Now, if the mayor of Jade Zero City isn't stupid, he should realize that this is not a simple fire at all, but a disaster.

Speaking of disasters, we have to mention the Hero Association again.

The Hero Association was not originally established to capture criminals; its initial purpose was to combat disasters that occurred in various places.

The reason why the Hero Association looks like another police station now is because of the Hero Association's excellence.

The Hero Association is too excellent. Having been established for ten years, the Hero Association has almost eradicated all known disasters on the planet. Even newly emerging disasters are quickly dealt with by the Hero Association.

In order to prevent the Hero Association from disbanding, the heroes of the Hero Association would occasionally do some work similar to a police station, and Zhan Xiaoxiao was the best example of this.

Oh, right, we still haven't explained what exactly the disaster was.

Disasters are generally divided into two types.

The first type, living disasters, generally refers to creatures or consciousnesses with great destructive power that are hostile to humans or human society. Simply put, they are monsters, the most typical of which are invaders from outside the stars and monsters that have been born from unknown places.

The second type is natural disasters. This type of disaster is easy to understand. Unconscious disasters such as typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, and plagues are all called natural disasters.

However, one thing must be made clear: natural disaster is natural disaster, and disaster is disaster. Although the two terms are very similar, they are not on the same level at all.

Which of the twenty natural disasters couldn't easily destroy a star? Even pseudo-natural disasters are nothing compared to real natural disasters.

The so-called pseudo-disaster level is a rating system for disasters. Simply put, a disaster that even the strongest members of the Hero Association cannot defeat is called a pseudo-disaster.

Although it's labeled as a natural disaster, it's actually nowhere near as serious as a natural disaster.

I thought that if Zhan Xiaoxiao unleashed all her power, it would at least reach the level of a pseudo-natural disaster, right? But is this all? Can it even be rated as an S-level disaster?

To reach the pseudo-disaster level, there are two rating levels: S+ and Super S+.

Although it didn't reach the pseudo-catastrophic level I wanted, I wasn't too disappointed. After all, Zhan Xiaoxiao still met my expectations. I didn't imagine that Zhan Xiaoxiao would be so weak, so this was unexpected.

Just as I thought that, the original Rosewood Villa area changed again. The fire suddenly disappeared, along with the burned villas and buildings, leaving only a large area of ​​ground scorched into lava.

Then a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky.

Forty meters? Are you kidding me? If that pillar of fire was only forty meters high, I, Shunegate, would have jumped off this 24-story building on the spot.

The pillar of red flames reached the horizon, illuminating the city that should have been dark and turning it a blood-red color, so intense that I could barely open my eyes.

Just how tall was that pillar of fire? A hundred meters? A thousand meters? No! That pillar of fire was tens of thousands of meters tall!

Then, the pillar of fire, seemingly slow but actually swift, crashed down in a certain direction, towards a building I recognized:... the First People's Hospital of Yuling City...

The plot unfolded as I had anticipated, albeit somewhat unexpectedly.

--split line--

Let me tell you a secret: I think I'll be a signed author soon, and I've got the contract.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Heroes

What kind of scene would that be? A pillar of fire, tens of thousands of meters high, crashing down in one direction—what a spectacular sight that would be!

A pillar of fire, seemingly about to cleave the city in two, crashed down, burning the sky and illuminating the entire city's night in red. Countless people were awakened from their sleep by the sight before them, while countless others were filled with despair upon seeing it, for they were caught in the trajectory of the falling pillar of fire.

They looked up at the pillar of fire falling from the sky, their eyes burning from the flames, their hair curling from the intense heat, and their hearts filled with despair from the impending disaster.

But they can't escape; they can only hope for the arrival of their strongest hero. However, heroes are human too, not machines that fight disasters 24/7 without sleep. Coupled with the Hero Association's mix of excellence and laziness, they haven't encountered a disaster like this in a long time.

Is there anyone who can protect them? Yes! Of course there is!

Who can protect them? It's the Central Police Station, which earns far less than the Hero Association but performs far more complex tasks.

"Awoo!"

With a melodious wolf howl, a giant red wolf appeared out of thin air, but the wolf was only a hundred meters long, which was still too small compared to the pillar of fire that could split the heavens and the earth.

Facing the falling pillar of fire, the giant wolf charged forward without hesitation, its red energy gathering in front of its head to form a red energy barrier.

Boom!
